    Negative longitude is leaving me confused

    I have went over everything while setting up the Fortec Star FC-80cm dish with the DG-240 motor, and Invotec Quad lnbf installed and connected to the Mercury II Receiver. I can't get a reading after inputting the location into the receiver. The location for my area is: Latitude 34.1804 degrees, Longitude -92.2957 degrees. The negative number is throwing me off and I have been entering 92.2 degrees for longitude and I wonder if I am doing something wrong here. I didn't see anything to represent a negative sign on the remote. Can anyone assist me with this?

    In your antenna setup, USALS setup don't use the - sign. Input longitude without it.
    Two Mercury II's, DG-240, 90cm Fortec, QPH-031, Viewsat Ultra VS2000, Solomend and an Openbox S9, DN Turbo HD dish w/DSS-LNB
    I like to shop at Sadoun Satellite sales.

    If it shows 92.2E, change it to W for West.

    Thats the same as a - sign.
